Jim Maxwell catches up with Marcus Harris, who has been named in Australia鈥檚 squads for the World Test Championship final against India and the upcoming men鈥檚 Ashes series in England. Harris discusses competing with David Warner and Usman Khawaja for an opportunity to open the batting, explains why Steve Smith鈥檚 stint in the County Championship is of benefit to England just as much as it is to Australia, and rebuffs Stuart Broad鈥檚 claim that Australia鈥檚 win in the 2021 series is 鈥渧oid鈥�.

We also get Harris鈥� thoughts on England dropping wicketkeeper Ben Foakes from their Test squad to face Ireland at the start of June to make room for the return of Jonny Bairstow.

Plus, Scotland鈥檚 Lorna Jack joins Jim, Charu Sharma and Nikesh Rughani to discuss becoming one of the first female cricketers in the country to receive a professional contract. Jack鈥檚 played almost 150 times for Scotland over a 16-year career. Away from cricket, she鈥檚 a police officer in Glasgow.
